replace http client Requests to compatible Niquests
Description
This PR effectively replace the http client Requests for Niquests. Niquests is a drop-in replacement for Requests that is no longer under feature freeze.
This new client support HTTP/2, and HTTP/3 by default and offers both sync and async interfaces. It supports all the latest shiny features you would expect from an http client.
If you were interested on merging, I will be thrilled to propose a followup PR that will propose a script that generate the async part of plex-client automatically.
This PR is a low footprint change. I did not change the "alert" part, based on WS, because there's something we can't support: "reusing existing socket instance". Would it be a breaking change according to you?
disclaimer: I maintain Niquests.
